Computer Science, Minor to Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, M.S. Accelerated Program

Saint Louis University's accelerated computer science minor to Master of Science in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology allows a SLU student to complete both a minor in computer science and a master's degree in less time than it would take to pursue them separately.

Students may choose to pursue a minor in computer science in addition to their chosen bachelor's degree major.

Computer Science, Minor

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, M.S.

Admission Requirements

Students who want to apply to this accelerated minor to master's program should have completed at least 75 credits at the time of application and must have already completed or be enrolled in CSCI 2100 Data Structures.

Students must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 at SLU and must have received grades of "B" or better in all CSCI courses thus far. To apply, students must submit a personal statement and arrange for two letters of recommendation.

Program Requirements

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and a GPA of at least 3.00 in their computer science coursework. Students who drop below that GPA while in the accelerated program will be placed on a one-semester probationary period before being dismissed from the accelerated program. 

Students can take up to 15 credits of graduate coursework that will count for both the undergraduate degree and the M.S. Courses and credits included are below.
